Gardena City Council established a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries, approved changes to the Rent Mediation Board's bylaws, and authorized an entertainment permit for a karaoke restaurant on Tuesday.
The council voted 4-0 to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries in the city. A 2006 moratorium on the businesses expires next month.
An entertainment permit to allow karaoke music at Hanabi restaurant, formerly Koreana BBQ, was approved 4-0 on Tuesday. The restaurant, at 1435 W. Redondo Beach Boulevard, has recently been renovated with a sushi bar and individual rooms for private karaoke parties. It will open in November.
The council also amended the bylaws of the city's Rent Mediation Board, which arbitrates disputes between renters and landlords. The new rules limit mediation service to rent increases greater than five percent in one year, require landlords to submit reasons for rent increases prior to a mediation hearing, provide that the other side prevails if a party does not appear for a mediation hearing, and conforms rent increase notification periods to current state law.
